Putting out commercial pieces and promoting them and trying to sell them to people is not necessarily what it means to be an artist

I'm not that in control of myself that I could be specific about exactly the way I'm doing everything as it happens. I'm just trying my best

I wouldn't say the purpose of making art is to enjoy it necessarily. For me, it happens to be the thing I enjoy the most. I don't even know what the purpose of art is really, I just know that is something that makes me feel satisfied in a way that other things don't. That's all I know, that's why I like to write songs and films or draw. I just like to make things and somehow I find it gives me a feeling of satisfaction that I can't find in other areas of my life.
